Ghana 8 Day Special

Our tour guide was on time from the onset of the trip. I loved that he was flexible with our schedule. Always making suggestions as to what would be of interest to the family. The restaurants that our guide (Elvis/Kweku) suggested were great. Great atmosphere and good choices of food. However, regarding choices in hotels which is no reflection on the guide, I was less impressed with the hotels. We stayed at 3 separate hotels and the only one that I would recommend is Fiesta Royale which was a choice the family suggested instead of the choice we received from the tour. The hotel in Kumasi City (Lancaster Hotel) smelled moldy. The hotel in Cape Coast City (Coconut Grove) was not as bad but the food selection at the hotel was non-existent. The WiFi connection was non-existent which is important for people traveling outside the country as that is our means of connecting to people back home.

Our experience with Continent tours was amazing. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The driver was attentive at all times and we felt safe the entire time with no concerns. The ooverall experience was good. My only complaint is for the hotel we stayed at in Kumasi ( Lancaster Hotel) …it smelled like mold in the hallways, fixtures in the bathroom fell off so we had to use the other rooms shower, needs update, and all 4 rooms, bed was feeling damp and food was horrible with limited selection. The Coconut Grove accommodations was only great because of the beach front room. Otherwise, bed felt like you were sleeping on concrete, and WIfi did not work in all rooms and was weak in the 1 room it was available in. Food was also not good in taste and extremely limited selections for breakfast and dinner. Every day we only ended up getting omelets, because that’s basically all they had. The best hotel was the Accra hotel Fiesta Royale …the hotel was amazing but also was the only hotel we chose ourselves, other 2 was suggested by the tour group. Overall a great experience and we would use this tour group again.

The Tour Guide Mr. George Benson was outstanding in every capacity. He is very knowledgeable about the history, social, cultural aspects about the people, cities, villages we visited. He also has a friendly and engaging personality. George made our stay in Ghana informative and enjoyable.
